SEVERED TIES.

A few more sweet and sacred ties
Times ruthless scythe shall sever,
Then We to that bright land shall rise
Where partings shall be never
The blossoms fair that round us bloom
Are soon Ill withered lying:
We sadly place them on the tomb.
Fit emblems OF the dying.
The streams which Quench our thirst 70
day
Tomorrow cease their flowing,
Dark night o'ertakes the brightest way,
its somber shadows throwing.
o land whose blos SONS never fade,
Thou land whose breezes vernal
The richest perfumes ever lade;
Dear home OF spring eternal;
Thy rivers clear and crystal tide
Doth never cease its flowing:
BY that fair stream SO deep and wide
The tree Of life Is growing.
Thou realm Of everlasting day,
Thou land OF light undyinR,
Whose bliss shall never pass away,
Where songs shall be for signing:
BEST sunny land. whose golden gate
Nor sin, nor sorrow enter.
While mid these fearful scenes We wait
Our hopes on thee we center.

LIFE ON THE MOON.
The Likelihood That tho Satellite WAS

The Likelihood That tho Satellite WAS
Once Inhabited BY Men.
There is reason for thinking that
the moon is not absolutely airless.
and, while it has no visible body of
water. it's soil may. after ALL not be
entirely arid and desiccated. These
are observations which hint At visible
changes in certain spots that could
possibly be caused by vegetation. and.
there ate other observations which
suggest the display of electric lumin-
osity in rareied atmosphere cover
ing the moon. To declare that no pos
sible form of life can exist under the
conditions prevailing upon the lunar
surface would be saying to much. for
human intellige nee can not SGT bounds
to creative power Yet within the
limits of life. such as we know them,
it 10 probably safe to assert that the
moon is a dead and de-
serted world. In other words,
if race of beings resembling
ourselves. or resembling any of our
contemporaries terrestrial life, ever ex-
listed upon the moon. they must long
since have persisted. That such beings
may have existed is possible. particu-
larl- if it is true. as generally be-
lieved. that the moon once had a COM
paratively dense atmosphere and
water upon its surface. which have
now, in the process Of cooling of the
lunar globe, being Withdrawn into its
interior. 1t certainly does not detract
from the interest with which we study
the rugged and beautiful scenery of
the moon to reflect that if we could
visit those ancient sea-bottoms. or ex-
plore those glittering mountains. we
might. perchance, find there some re-
mains or mementoes of a race that
fourished. and perhaps was all gath
cred again to its fathers. before man
appeared upon the earth. Garrett r.
Seruiss, in Popular Science Monthly.

ON THE DIAMOND.

The Damianas Give the Atlas More
"Medicine "-Other Matters.
The largest assemblage of the season
gathered at Agricultural Park yesterday
afternoon to witness the second game be-
tween the Damianas, of San Francisco, and
the Atlas. The diamond was in fine con-
dition, and the weather excellent. Evil
IDENTIFY the San Franciscans were anxious
to win the game, as their ranks were
strengthened by selections from other Bay
clubs. A gentleman named Mespelt, who
has had experience in the East, was Sc
lected to act as umpire, and though APP
parently a little rusty" performed the
duties quite well, though he was unfor-
tunate in having an unusual number of
close decisions to make, and could not, of
course, hope to render them all satisfacto-
rily. The Atlas went to the bat first, and
before Mullee got warmed up six of them
tailed. This gave them over-confidence.
Barry pitched well for the home club DUR
ing the irst inning, and tolerably well
in the second, but he should not have
gone into the box for the third, as
his arm had again given out; as
it was, the Damianas made two runs in the
second inning, and four in the third, when
Barry realized that it was useless to strug-
gle against fate longer, and relinquished
his position to Borchers, from whom in
the next seven innings the visitors only got
three hits. The Atlas did not make any
runs from the first inning until the eighth,
at the commencement Of which the score
stood to against them. White, who had
been unlucky at the bat made two-base
hit, which Robertson followed by driving
the ball to the right-felder, who didn't
seem to want it. and before it could be sent
back into the diamond from the pond of
water way down in right field, White and
Robertson were smiling pleasantly ON the
right side of the home plate. Borchers and
Barry were put out, and Mclaughlin failed
to hit the ball in three strikes, but man
aged to reach first. He got to second on
passed ball. stole third, and advanced about
one-third of the way home while Hilbert
was making two abortive efforts to hit.
The next time the ball was pitched Nc
Laughlin made a dash for home, the
chances being a dozen to one against his
making it, but it happened that Creegan
failed to catch the ball that time, and
great shout went up over the neat play by
which the Sacramentans had tied their op-
ponents' score. Neither side tailed in the
ninth inning, but in the tenth, after close
struggle, the Damianas gained the winning
run. The score stood as follows:

The Gold Bar Gases.

The trial of George Henderson at Orc
vile for participating in the robbery of
the Oroville and Quincy stage several
months ego, and taking bar of gold be-
longing to Wells, Fargo & Co.. as well as
other property, came to termination last
Friday, and the chain of evidence was so
complete that the jury were out only long
enough to take ballot, and returned with
verdict of guilty. The defendant was
ordered to appear next Saturday, the Goth,
for sentence. =.
In this city Saturday morning, John Nora
ton, recently convicted of buying and re-
ceiving stolen property, knowing the same
to have been stolen-he having purchased
the gold blr from Henderson-was called
up to receive sentence. His counsel made
a motion in arrest of judgment and for a
new trial, but the Court overruled it. His
Honor also refused the request that the de-
PENDANT be sentenced to a term in the
County Jail, instead of being sent to the
State Prison. A sentence of two years in
the prison at Folsom was then imposed,
and a motion to admit to bail pending an
appeal was overruled.
